Tilt-a-Whirl
The
first step toward attaining Realization
is,
perhaps, to abandon the idea entirely
if
the notion is in your head but not in your heart.
The
mind’s true desire is for rescue
not
for Realization which we have
never
experienced and know nothing about.
We
turn hopefully to God for His counsel
and
the first instruction He gives
is
to become helpless and abandon all hope.
Realization,
we are told, is bestowed
only
by Grace (per Meher)
at
God’s sole discretion
and
the desire for Realization it is said,
is
the greatest obstacle to Realization.
We
are instructed to yearn for God
but
not for paradise, for surrender
rather
than triumph, for humility
instead
of attainment; to yearn
not
for life eternal (which we already possess)
but
for the finality of our one true death.
O
child, you have taken a seat on the Tilt-a-Whirl
and wonder why your
world is spinning out of control.
